Who is the best rhythm gamer you've seen in your rhythm gaming career?

(For comparison, the world record speed for single strokes vs. double strokes is 1208 in one minute vs 1744 in one minute.)

That is exactly what he is doing, and technically he could do it twice since there are two sides to the drum (two accuracies, red and blue, with the option of using the left or right to hit them). Say, he could hit double on both the right and left sides of the drum, resulting in 4 hits instead of two.

Also love how in each video the player wears a mask.

EtienneSM

[ToonE156]

AnMao
Matthias
Vertex
ITG-Era Happyf33tz

Anmaos videos are super satisfying to watch, idk why

Matthias is one of the only D8s that actually plays FFR, and he kills it anyway. also he was a former laptop player and I gotta respect him for that

Vertex is a special player to me personally. Ever since I saw Etienne's video on him (also one of my favorite players) he has been my spirit animal. Vertex has inspired me in terms of play and in life to an extent. He was MY AGE when he started exploding in a outdated play style. dude did not deserve the crap that he got from the community. i hope you're doing well in life Vertex.

Happyf33tz was the first to quad Vertex^2, do I even need to explain

etienne and samurai are cool too I guess






damn it I was supposed to pick 1 person wasn't i

[icontrolyourworld]

I can't even understand the skill a lot of rhythm gamers at the top of their respective games are putting out, but I can say for certain I haven't seen something as jaw dropping as this in years

[MarioNintendo]

I've seen in these gamers play in person:

- Dynamo
- Opkiller
- Dossar
- Samurai
- Staiain
- Hakulyte

Even though they are differently skilled, imo these were all monsters, especially for 4k.

If we're talking strictly IRL, T-force

If we're talking overall, I'd probably say FoxFire is who I'd give that to.

[rushyrulz]

my mom says I'm special, so me.

[Shadow_God_10]

People I've seen IRL would be Haku and Goldstinger

ThaoR is the Italian deity of 4k

[awein999]

dossar on my old laptop like 8 or 9 years ago casually sdg'ing death piano in one try like it was nothing

[kochi85]

for me, it has to be Jakads, but I don't have a lot of experience so yeah

[Matthia]

lukeardio

[PhantomPuppy]

of all the people i've seen play IRL, i'd have to say myself cuz i don't talk to people

[Skayles]

i'll limit this to people i've met that are/were among the top of their game. answering this with the "best" i know of in general is way too nuanced.
------------------------------------------------------------------
dossar, halogen, 1048, vaxei overjoy, elah, happyf333tz, chris4life and pretty much all or almost all the other USA top 4-panel players
